Now we have seen extra rain and funky temperatures once more this week. A lot of the backyard makes me assume that autumn has arrived, nevertheless, the sunflowers are nonetheless cheery.
So this week I went across the backyard making an attempt to seize the bugs in motion.
I can’t keep in mind if the bee on the left was a honey bee coming into land or extra of a hover fly. I used to be excited on the time by a a lot bigger insect however alas it obtained away earlier than I might seize it. On the appropriate are bumblebees having fun with the early morning solar on the sunflowers.
A buff-tailed bumblebee on the Echinacea.
That is Salvia ‘Blaze Of Fireplace’, fairly unintentionally planted subsequent to cornflowers, the crimson and blue go fairly properly collectively. I began these off inside, however the whitefly took to them, so out they went into the backyard. These have taken some time to get going.
Lastly, listed below are among the Hodgkin French Beans. I don’t know the way previous this pack is, we discovered it when clearing our relative’s flat. So I believed I’d give them a attempt. I’m at the moment studying ‘Consuming To Extinction’ by Dan Saladino and am fairly horrified about what number of meals from around the globe are going into extinction because of the manner the meals giants are taking on. So if I can hold a uncommon selection going, all the higher. Though I anticipate these have been crossed pollinated with the opposite varieties I’m rising too.
